^  INTRODUCTION. 

The  journal  here  printed  is  of  interest  to  South  Carolinians 
V  because  the  Scorpion  brought  Lord  William  Campbell  to  South 

^  Carolina  in  1775,  and  almost  immediately  became  involved  in  the 

proceedings  which  preceded  the  breaking  out  of  hostilities  be- 
tween Great  Britain  and  the  American  provinces.  The  South- 
Carolina  Gazette;  And  Country  Jo^tmal  for  May  30,  1775,  an- 
nounced: 

On  Friday  last  arrived  here  tlie  Brig  Rebecca,  Capt.  Sanders,  who  in- 
forms us,  the  Scorpion  Man  of  War  was  on  the  23d.  of  last  Month  at 
Madeira,  on  board  of  which,  according  to  the  latest  advices.  Lord  William 
Campbell  was  to  embark  for  this  Province,  so  that  his  arrival  maj'  be 
hourly  expected. 


The  same  paper  for  Tuesday,  June  20,  1775,  published  the 
following: 
On  Saturday  evening  last  his  excellency  the  Right  Hon.  Lord  William 
y  Campbell,  Gov.  &c.  of  this  Province,  with  his  Lady  and  family  arrived  in

^The  Scorpion  appears  to  have  continued  cruising  off  the  east  coast  of  North 
America  from  Boston  to  the  West  Indies.  The  South-Carolina  Gazette;  And  Country 
Journal  for  December  2,  1775,  says  : 

"On  Wednesday  of  last  week,  arrived  here  from  Cape-Fear,  his  Majesty's  Sloop 
Scorpion,  Commanded  by  the  Hon.  Capt.  Tollemach,  vyith  a  large  Transport  ship. 
These  vessels  have  likewise  been  at  Bermuda,  and  we  hear  that  at  both  places  they 
dismantled  some  Forts.  His  Excellency  Governor  Martin  of  North  Carolina  is  on 
board  the  Scorpion.
